lyrics

The barn burned down last night
Forty horses inside
Couldn't save em
No matter how they tried

Flashing through the sky
Sirens red & white
Couldn't tame it
Til the morning light
Gone ain’t no reason why
Gone in the blink of an eye

When you love something someone
Love em a whole ton
Hug em & hold it tight
That’s the gift of goodbye
That’s the gift of goodbye

Nothing but wet ash
Melted down horse shoes
Tragedy senseless
Said the evening news
Gone ain’t no reason why
Gone in the blink of an eye

When you love something someone
Love em a whole ton
Hug em & hold it tight
That’s the gift of goodbye
That’s the gift of goodbye
Hitched in the trailer I kicked & I cried
Never got to say goodbye

When you love something someone
Love em a whole ton
Hug em & hold it tight
That’s the gift of goodbye
That’s the gift of goodbye
The barn burned down last night
All my friends inside
